Ben24x7 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 May I add another glitch to your list of LoTR bugs? On one occasion, where you do Story Mode in "Taming Gollum" (at least, if I remember if that's what the level is called), I was playing Frodo and my friend was playing Sam. The glitch came in when I ran into a dark cave where the player is meant to collect, I think, pieces of a fishing rod, and after a while of waiting I unequipped the light thing Frodo uses to se in dark caves. The game didn't push me out of the cave though, it pushed me into the cave. Dropping myself and letting Frodo be CPUed for a while didn't work either. Eventually, we decided to restart the level. But yes, I really can agree that most, if not all, TT Games are buggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 So over on eurobricks someone found this article with some quite interesting info we haven't heard before. Some main points of interest are: >Elisabeth Banks (you know, the one who voiced Wyldstyle in TLM) will be back to voice Wyldstyle in Dimensions. Yay proper voice actors! >You know the area in front of the main portal that's divided in two? That can be used to scan figures into the game as well. In fact, the whole pad can scan in up to 7 bases at the same time. Blimey. >At one point in the game, batman from the Lego Batman games meets the one from TLM. Oh boy dis gon be good. >The base game released this year will be supported with new content for at least two years. Compared to skylanders which seems to get a new base game every couple of months, this seems like a pretty good investment. >And last but not least, more info about the game will be revealed at E3 in June. I really hope 4-player mode is a thing, even though I would probably never use it. (Or perhaps a player can have up to 3 characters they can quickly switch between or have in a team?)

Jimbob Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm trying to work out the different themes in that first picture... Am I right in saying they're: The Hobbit/LOTR The LEGO Movie Chima (those flying blue ape things?) BIONICLEtoothygrinrilla...

Ayliffe Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I'm trying to work out the different themes in that first picture... Am I right in saying they're: Chima (those flying blue ape things?) Nope, those are the flying monkey things from the wizard of oz. BIONICLEtoothygrinrilla... That big fella in the background At a guess he's probably Vortech, that main bad guy who was mentioned a lot in various press releases but was never really shown. Some ninja TLM bots or something at the front The ones that look like ninjas with laser-eyes and swords? Those are nindroids from ninjago, mainly from last year.

Ayliffe Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Oh hey, commenting is back on news topics. That's nice. Anyway, let me put the video here in case you're too lazy to clicky on the link above: As for my thoughts on this vid, I definitely preferred this live-action trailer over the last one, mainly because Christopher Lloyd (someone who, unlike the previous guy, can actually act) was in it. On another note, a couple of weeks ago I noticed this rather interesting image from the game's extended trailer... You see that beige-ish flying saucer thing on the right of the screen? You recognize it? Well it seems to be a rather out-of-scale version of this...Yep, it's one of the Daleks flying saucers from Doctor Who, which means that we're probably getting a ton more non-Capaldi Dr Who stuff within the game as well as that level pack. Also how did nobody notice this for a whole month? Ben24x7, The Ace Railgun, Jimbob and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 This is heavy, Doc. There's that word again, "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future, is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull? Oooh boy am I going to love this. Ayliffe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayliffe Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Oh lookie here, a development blog post from lego's video games site. What's that you say? You wanted new info about the game from these blogs?

Ayliffe Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 So there's another short trailer-y thingy for that dimensions game, which you can catch below: The trailer doesn't really show much (other than the "3 builds per mini-model" thing), but the description has a ton of juicy details... Unlock the unique powers and abilities with characters, vehicles, and gadgets from Scooby-Doo, The Simpsons, Doctor Who, Ghostbuster, Portal, Jurassic World, Midway Arcade, LEGO Chima, DC Comics, Back to the Future, Wizard of Oz, and Ninjago! Not only does this officially reveal (albeit not very well) all those packs that were leaked before, but it also reveals the rather unexpected addition of, um, Midway Arcade. Wow, TT games really seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for IPs here. Oh yeah, and there's this image: EDIT: Some more images of the game here. And here. And here. And here and here. Oh, and here. emily 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben24x7 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 In Ayliffe's third picture link, I couldn't help but notice how two of the images use a Cel shading style (drawn outlines and more). This possibly means the game will use different rendering styles based on what world the player is currently playing in. Ayliffe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you're wondering what they're talking about, here's a picture of the 1974 lego family: Wow, I actually kinda wish they left that in. Would've been fun for sure.

MaelstromIslander Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Wow, I actually kinda wish they left that in. Would've been fun for sure. See? Now THAT'S a creative enemy. I too wish that was left in the game, and i honestly have no clue why LEGO would go against it. Maybe the executives wanted a bad guy with a snappy name who was really really evil (which is the boring tradition) and chose that over this instead. If they're going to have DUPLO as the bad guys in TLM, then why can't the 1974 LEGO Family be the bad guys in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emily Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Looks like they didn't do any special mechanics or anything for Portal. It's just standard TT game + dimensional gate gimmic that provides yet another way to solve the same puzzles we've been doing since LSW. Ah well.

Ben24x7 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Ayliffe, you may have beaten me to posting that LEGO Dimensions Portal Gameplay, but you just said "Portal stuff"... ...there is more to that gameplay than just a Portal level! It shows a few new things not shown to the public until now. Apparently, according to the Portal gameplay, the Minifig/Vehicle Pad can be used for more than just putting characters and vehicles into the game, some mechanics are actually built around the Pad. Some shown in the Gameplay footage involve the ability to rescale characters, hop into coloured Dimensional holes (a bit like Portals themselves), etc. Edited June 16, 2015 by Ben24x7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
